Earlier this month, the makers of Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Adipurush’ announced a new release date on social media. The film, which was previously scheduled to hit the screens on January 12, 2023, will now release on June 16, 2023.
The film has been mired in controversy ever since its teaser was unveiled. The teaser courted major backlash over the looks of Saif’s fierce Ravana/Lankesh who is shown sporting a beard and a buzz cut. Many people across the country slammed the makers for allegedly hurting their religious sentiments.
